Shu Yu and the others left quickly.

In the meantime, Dahu was sent over by Master Wen and his wife.

The couple looked at Shu Yu with unfathomable expressions.

Shu Yu secretly sighed. As Dahu’s guardian, she had wanted to leave an impression on the teacher as someone who was gentle, kind, and easy-going.

She didn’t expect such a thing to happen in front of the teacher.

However, since Master Wen would contribute to toppling the previous county magistrate, he was obviously not pedantic.

As expected, the couple smiled at Shu Yu and even said with admiration, “Lady Lu is not afraid of power, which is commendable. However, those three people are not easy to deal with. They will probably not let it go.”

“Don’t worry, teacher. I know what to do.”

“That’s good then.”

Master Wen and his wife didn’t say anything else. The two of them sent Dahu to Shu Yu and confirmed the time of the enrolment ceremony before leaving.

Their friends were still waiting at the pavilion, so they could not delay any longer.

After Master Wen and his wife left, Lu Sanzhu finally came back to his senses. He smiled foolishly as he held the bank notes.

With the huge sum in his hand, he was a little worried that he would be targeted by thieves. It didn’t feel appropriate to store the money anywhere, so he simply held on to them tightly.

After taking a few steps, he was still worried and said to Shu Yu, “Yu, I’m not dreaming, am I? Did they really, really compensate me with ten silver taels? It feels so surreal.”

Shu Yu stopped and suddenly stretched out her hand. “Let me see the bank notes.”

Lu Sanzhu didn’t suspect anything and handed over the money.

Following this, Shu Yu retracted her hand and put the bank notes into her pocket.

Lu Sanzhu was dumbfounded and stunned.

What happened? Why did she take away his bank notes?

Lu Sanzhu wanted to snatch the bank notes back, but when he saw that the person in front of him was Shu Yu, he immediately retracted his hands and did not dare to move.

His expression changed and became pitiful. “Yu, you did help me get the money, so logically speaking, it’s only right for you to take it, right? But umm, I’ve been in the water for so long, after all. Cough, cough, I’m indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. Do give me some of the money to see a doctor. I don’t want much. How about five… Two taels?”

Shu Yu had never thought of taking his ten taels of silver, but she could not just give it to him like that.

At the very least, the money could not be handed over to him for safekeeping. Looking at him, she knew that it would not be long before he would spend it all.

She only said, “I’ll give you the money later. Let’s go back first.”

Lu Sanzhu was listless and very sad. “Oh.”

He felt that Yu was not going to give the money to him. His intuition had always been accurate.

If he couldn’t get two taels of silver, one tael was fine too. Even if he did not contribute, he had worked hard, right?

After they had walked for a while, Tang Wenqian and his classmate stopped.

“Lady Lu, we still have something to do back at the Academy, so we can’t go with you.”

Shu Yu understood. “Thank you for today’s matter. I’ll return your classmate’s clothes after my Third Uncle has washed them. Please pass them to him and thank him on my behalf.”

Tang Wenqian nodded. He hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something. But in the end, he only sighed and said, “Goodbye.”

He and the scholar just now turned around and left.

Shu Yu held Dahu’s hand and the group walked out of the peach blossom forest.

However, before they left the forest, they saw someone rushing over.

The other party smiled and greeted them, “Everyone, please wait..”
